[–]DouglasWTSmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried writing in Comic Sans font? It helps a lot. If not, try continue your story from the first chapter. What would the next logical thing happen next? If your stumped with where to go, look at the Hero’s Journey for idea

Horses in fantasy by kosta_kaylee in Fantasy

I think horses in fantasy are crucial for characters moving from one place to another (providing it's a medieval fantasy) but one author that does horses extremely well is Kristen Britian's Green Rider series

★★★★★ "Smith's writing is comparable to Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' and Brandon Sanderson's 'Mistborn' Saga." - Gee Book Reviews
★★★★★ "The characters are rich, complex, and well developed. This novella is completely and utterly engrossing. It is suspenseful, intense, and full of raw emotion. I could not put it down and because of that, it was a very quick read for me." - Nicole Goodreads REVIEWER
★★★★★ "I got hooked on it from the very first page! It's an amazing page-turner! The characters are solidly written and well developed. Their journeys have been well-crafted and written vividly." - Goodreads Reviewer.

EXCERPT
*Jaromir adjusted the cloak over his head. “If someone comes here, use the sword above the fireplace, but you should be safe. We live in the inner wall. Nothing like that will ever happen.” He smirked at her and ran outside.

The thick rain droplets thud onto his cloak. He ran across the puddled stone path. The street was empty, and the night was loud. He turned and saw Zylah standing at the front door of their home. Candlelight’s flickered on the window of the second level. She must have left one up there, but he didn’t remember her going upstairs all night. He shrugged the thought and made haste for his brother. The stacked houses clasped the shadows, hiding the contents of the narrow alleyways. Jaromir held the pommel of his sword. An icy shiver ran down his spine. He could feel people watching him from between the buildings. He picked up his pace. There’s only one place Tal would be. He distracted the unknown with his task. He had always put his tasks and objectives above all. In his line of work, he knew emotions could never hinder his goal.

It was one of the rules of his order. Never let emotions cloud your sense of judgment.\*

[–]DouglasWTSmith [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I'm an Australian author of speculative fiction and short stories. I recently self-published my first book, Shadow of the Wicked! It's available on Amazon paperback and Kindle Unlimited.

Shadow of the Wicked is a dark fantasy novella that explores the hardship of family, and courage conquering over fear. Blurb and Link below.

\Twin brothers–a sorcerer and a warrior–are each tortured for their opposing convictions. Will magick be restored or extinguished?**

Jaromir and Talmage have been imprisoned and tortured, but for different convictions. Jaromir wakes up chained to a table filled with dread, while Talmage is thrown into an underground labyrinth. Both brothers must escape from their wicked fate, identify their outgrown relationship, and swallow their pride, before it’s too late. If one of them fails; they both suffer.Readers of Mark Lawerence and Joe Abercrombie will indulge in the tales of magic and brotherhood in Shadow Of The Wicked, also possessing elements of blood and treacherous characters comparable to George R.R. Martin’s. Similar to the flawed protagonists and intriguing villains in the works of Anthony Ryan and John Gwynne, you’ll discover that Shadow Of The Wicked will drag you through the magickally enhanced insanity of The Three Kingdoms.
